Hey, y'all. On today's show, we help Brendan grow his SEO membership.

Welcome to the FlipLifestyle Podcast, where life always comes before work.

We're your host, Shane and Jocelyn Sam.

We're a real family that figured out how to make our entire living online.

And now, we help other families do the same. Are you ready to

flip your life? All right. Let's get started. What's going on? Everybody, welcome back to the

Flipped Lifestyle podcast. It is great to be back with you again today. Super excited to talk to

another member of the Flip Your Life community so that we can help them take their membership dream to the next level.

And I've been pumped about this one all day long because this is one of our very good friends.

Not only have we hung out in the community, we have hung out in person.

We know each other from a lot of different ways.

It's one of those online business relationships that you just end up flowing in and out of online and off throughout the years. Super excited to welcome our friend Brendan Hufford to the show today. What's up, Brandon? Yeah, hey, thanks so much for having me. I'm psyched. This is going to be great. Yeah, we are really happy that you are here. We always love it when we talk to someone that we have met in real life. And it's funny how we actually met, though, because like we were kind of like in the same, it's not even circles. I don't know what you call the online world. There's just weird like, ecosystem or something. Ecosystem. That's a great way to say. There's like the whole six degrees of separation. Yeah. There's probably a lot fewer than that. Exactly. Right. And like, it's like you forget who you know online and offline and you forget who you've met in person. Yeah. And it was really weird. And I think, I think that we actually got on each other's radar because when Pat Flynn started his Facebook group, he had asked us to be moderators and Jocelyn was in there and I was in there and you were

kind of moderating the, you were like the leader of the moderators, you know what I'm saying? Well, I think it also happened too. Like he had, you know, Pat reached out to a bunch of friends. You're friends of them. I'm friends with them and we got to be friends that way too. but it also got to the point where it was a lot of work

and you were the one that told me

and this was year. friends that way too. But it also got to the point where it was a lot of work. And you were the one

that told me, and this was years ago now at this point, you were like, you know, Pat should really

pay somebody for this. And I'm like, I would like to get paid for this. So I just reached out to Pat

and became the moderator of moderators. You need a shirt that says that moderator of moderators. You're like the king of moderators. I think it's still actually a moderator. Jocelyn is still a moderator in there. I don't really do anything. Yeah. And what happened was, I mean, I was like off for it. Like Pat was like, hey, will you help me do this? I'm like, yeah, man, we got you back. Let's go. And it got crazy overwhelming fast,

though. That group grew so fast. I would log in and there would just be 40 notifications. And like, people are private messaging you and like, yeah. And I'm like, and I was like, man, this is a paid job. This is not a normal Facebook group. And so kudos to you for going out get paid, bro.

That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah, man.

It was one of the first things I did when I was, you know, I was still teaching. a normal Facebook group. And so kudos to you for going out and get paid, bro.
